A Tradition Since 1921

The Lower Saxony Homeland Association has been organizing its Lower Saxony Day every year since 1921. The 105th edition in Holzminden continues this long tradition, combining academic rigor with regional roots.

Cultural Landscape as an Opportunity

The 2026 theme sharpens the focus on cultural landscape as a structure of historically grown formations, ecological interconnections, and societal uses. Anyone considering the future of rural areas today cannot ignore this perspective.

HAWK Holzminden as the Venue

HAWK in Holzminden, with its study programs in Social Work, Architecture, Industrial Engineering, Interior Architecture, and other disciplines, offers a fitting setting for a conference of this profile. Holzminden, situated at the transition from the Weser Uplands to the Solling, also serves as a case study area for the topics addressed by the Lower Saxony Day.

Accompanying Exhibition 'Land der Alleen'

From April 3 to May 31, 2026, Schloss Bevern will host the exhibition 'Land der Alleen,' which explores the significance of tree-lined avenues (Alleen) for the cultural landscape. It can be visited as an introduction or a deeper dive into the conference themes.
